Aye, they were scraping some draws here and there but with no threat they were bound to creak at the other end in games

Strange team, they have conceded the least number of goals and scored the fewest in the bottom half of the table. Having said that I think they will be up for a scrap in their last EPL game to prove a point. 3-2 win for the reds.

I'm hoping Man. City are held to a draw by West Brom or Watford which would put them and Liverpool on 76 points if we win our last game and all we have to do is better their goal difference and we sneak third spot off them. Simples!!

Firmino is three times the player Origi is, so if fit he has to start. Middlesbrough will sit deep, so the trickery of Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana and Sturridge will hopefully unlock them. Once we've scored and they come forward, Origi with his pace will be a bigger impact from the bench.

75 minutes, still 0 - 0. Boro have everyone including the bench and fans behind the ball (well at least that's what it'll feel like). We'll all be screaming out for a tactical change from Klopp, which won't come until the 82nd minute when he brings on Woodburn for Wijnaldum. You'll be able to physically feel the tenseness of the crowd as they try to muster chants of 'Liverpool, Liverpool' and 'Fields of Anfield Road' which will sound very half-hearted. Klopp will turn towards the fans and wave his arms about in frantic fashion to try and get some atmosphere going while the Boro fans sing 'Is this a library?'

Lallana has to play as does Sturridge which leaves straight choice between Origi and Firmino

Why does Lallana have to play? He has 0 goals and 0 assists in 2017. We need to score. We're playing a team that's going to park the bus. We need end product and chances created. Firmino has better end product and creates more chances than Lallana. Firmino is best as a #10, if he's fit he should start there.

I get why people would rather Firmino started over Origi, but I feel like Origi and Sturridge play best partnered with each other. The amount of criticsm Origi got after scoring a goal and hitting the bar from 30 yards, was absolutely ridiculous.

The problem with Firmino is he is about as reliable as the number 11 bus. Have to stick with the same team, its not as if we have any outstanding no brainer option to come in
